Zambia aims to lift economic growth to an average of 7% over the next three years, targeting stronger exports in Copper. The medium-term macroeconomic framework projects growth of 6.0% in 2027, 7.5% in 2028, and 7.1% in 2029. The targets follow a protracted debt-restructuring process after the Southern African nation defaulted during the pandemic.
